In a small Northern Ontario town, four scout leaders try to offer a place of learning and empowerment to their pack of prepubescent girls.

Missing money, barking dogs, mean boys and parents that suck.
Saint City Sparrows, written by Kelsey Ruhl which premiered at Sun Dog Theatre Festival in 2022, this series is a love letter to Brownies, Girl Scouts and to adults who have no idea what they are doing.
Over the last 14 years Kelsey has worked in many areas within the arts landscape in rural and northern Ontario. In 2014 Kelsey created the On the Edge Fringe Theatre Festival in North Bay, and is currently serving her eleventh year as the festivals Executive Director.
